West's girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, and co-manager Don C also appeared to confirm the title in a photo posted to Instagram.

The pre-publicity campaign for West's sixth solo record, the followup to 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, has been gearing up for some time. Over the weekend he premiered a song, New Slaves, using projections on to buildings in 10 cities across the world. Dealing with themes of modern-day slavery, the track features vocals from Frank Ocean. Another new cut, Black Skinhead, was premiered on Saturday Night Live. The provocative track features the lyrics: "You see a Black man with a white woman / At the top floor they gon' come to kill King Kong / Middle America packed in / Came to see me in my Black skin."
